Thanks for the info, Bob. Always seems like there is some problem with the numbers when you start extrapolating. The guide numbers are a little misleading too since some fish would be caught numerous times. I would think the fish checker numbers might be of some use.

It would be helpful to have a good return estimate to show the state that this is a successful program. One other question, you target the early returning fish, what is the fishery cutoff date and do they also seem to spawn earlier? If you don't have time to respond I understand, just curious.

Happy New Year everyone and let's hope we see lots of fish in 2000.
